Abstract
A high-flux direct air capture (DAC) contactor is provided. The contactor includes stainless steel mesh elements interlaced into a structured packing to increase the effective surface area for a suitable solvent. In laboratory testing, the contactor demonstrated significant potential in driving down the cost of solvent absorption-based DAC due to its high specific surface area and COuptake efficiency, resistance to corrosion, optimal wettability, smaller relative size, and low manufacturing cost. As a potential breakthrough strategy, the highly efficient COcapture contactor can be employed to significantly reduce capital costs in a compact DAC system.
